Mental health support resources for health care professionals

Working on the frontlines takes a toll.


Feelings of stress, grief or burnout are all normal responses under these conditions. Ontario Health has created materials to raise awareness about mental health supports tailored to health care workers’ needs during this challenging time.


You can use these resources to:

  • Connect health care workers with mental health supports

  • Increase the visibility and awareness of supports that are available.
